Home minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday hinted that Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad was involved in the Pathankot air base terror attack.

“Pakistan is our neighbouring country. We want good relations with not just Pakistan but with all our neighbours. We also want peace but if there is any terror attack on India, we will give a befitting reply. We will hit hard,” he said.

Five terrorists, suspected to be from Pakistan, were killed in the gunfight that lasted nearly 15 hours after they breached a high-security security perimeter and entered a frontline Indian Air Force (IAF) base near Pathankot town in northern Punjab early on Saturday to carry out the attack.
